I have seen many films that were very hard and expensive to obtain on laserdisc that were relatively cheap and easy to locate on VHD. e.g. Horrors, Spaghetti Westerns, Sci-Fi & music titles etc. Cover art for VHDs is often completely different from laserdiscs but equally stunning to collect. It is a great source for some extremely rare music titles that are not available on laserdisc. If you are struggling to get a decent playback copy of a particular title on laserdisc that doesn't suffer from laser rot then buy the VHD version instead. Picture and sound quality is still very impressive and in a different league to CED technology. A few examples - but there are loads: Dio Super Rock 85 in Japan is not available on laserdisc so either you buy it on VHS, Beta or VHD. I have it on all of those! The George Romero classic - The Crazies is available on laserdisc (and I have it too) but the VHD version was really cheap to get hold in comparison.

I love the format. No skipping, dropouts, or laser rot. Some titles have Digital Audio with graphics.

STAY AWESOME!

Just wondering, where do you even get VHD Players? I never see any on eBay.

It sucks that they aren't cheap, and that most American films are P&S. If I ever get a VHD player, I would have to have these: Rain Man (1988) [VHP28515~6] Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) [TVD-2023]
